Andre's Restaurant
A new experience was available to residents in Sussex County when Andre de Waal, both the owner and chef of Andre's, opened the door of this restaurant. The decor features warm hues and exposed brick walls. Seating is available in a wine bar and two dining rooms. The wine bar is a popular place for those on their way home after a tiring workday. A popular appetizer is the house cured salmon with fresh herbs served with a cucumber salad. Or you can have what it calls "steak and cheese" which is a rare petite sirloin served with Mozzarella and sweet peppers. There are several entrees including pan roasted duck breast served with brown rice and Windy Brow Orchard's peaches and chicken saltimboca.

The Lafayette House
Romantic may be one way to describe the Lafayette House. Another may be multi-use. It's a rare restaurant that can serve the needs of a couple who chooses the restaurant to celebrate their wedding anniversary, while at the same time, it offers the best of everything to a party of 250. Start your meal with an appetizer such as "Hot Combo Delight" which is potato skins, mozzarella sticks, hot wings and hot bites or Brie with Chambord and toasted almonds that have been warmed and served with crackers. A popular entree is veal and shrimp Grand Marnier, which is medallions of veal and extra large gulf shrimp saut ed in a sauce made with this French liqueur, or the more mundane but delicious Scallops and Turf which is a combination of broiled sea scallops and a petite filet mignon prepared to your liking.
